In the United States, the right to vote for people with disabilities was significantly advanced with the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate barriers to voting. However, it wasn't until the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted in 1990 that more comprehensive protections were established, ensuring accessibility in polling places and voting processes. Prior to these laws, many individuals with disabilities faced legal and physical obstacles that effectively disenfranchised them. The timeline for voting rights varies by country, but similar movements for accessibility and inclusion have occurred globally.
